He's definatly singularly focused on winning football games. And he's a brilliant, hillarious interview if you like dry, sarcastic humor. He's my favorite coach any of "my" teams have ever had.

Plus, obviously he's not afraid to push the boundaries, which I appreciate.

Pushing boundaries? Hmmm, I think I would phrase it more like "he's not afraid to blatantly cheat"

GREEDY PUNK PAUL ALLEN, THIS LOSS IS ON YOU."I don't give a crap WHAT you gotta pay, Kam is worth it and I don't want to lose a shot at another SB cuz you - a freaking BILLIONAIRE, are cheapskating Kam over a freaking $900,000.You cheapskate." SalishHawkFan SEP 13, 2015 1:47 PM

But dont think that he ever blatantly cheated at Oregon. Definatly worked in some loop holes which have since been closed.

Until the NCAA comes in and takes those wins away, puts you on a bowl ban and takes scholarships away, right?

Why do I care if they take wins away? It doesnt ruin my January 8, 2012 if they tell me now that we actually lost the Rose Bowl. Doesnt matter. I still had a great day and they beat Russell Wilson and Wisconsin. I dont care what the record books say in 10 years. I still know we're about to beat Washington for the 10th time, even if the record book will only say 7. Not sure why they would take wins away though, as far as I know we never played any ineligible players. (Lache Seastrunk, who all the drama is about, never set foot on the field as a Duck.)

They won't give us a Bowl Ban, but if they do, they do. It will have been worth it because we're now a national program who can recruit nationally.

If they give us scholarships reductions (which I expect they will, along with a few less official visits), we've already been playing ra few under the scholarship limit for the last few years, so we're prepared for it.

Not self imposing a bowl ban this year with a new coach is STUPID. Looking at Ohio State and UNC I expect it to happen. Better to take it this year and move on....

Now in regards to the link. Education is clearly not important at LSU and seriously how does Chip not "know" this rule???? I wondered about it the other year and went - I am sure you aren't allowed to call before the draft is over and 2secsnon google answered it for me.

The whole "I pulled myself out of draft" sounds really strange and I just wonder if Honey Badger shared with him.....

Why in the world would they self impose a bowl ban when pretty much universally among the media (unless youre talking about UW insiders like Kim and ruth) they're saying that a bowl ban is not likely? What would be stupid is self imposing a bowl ban, when you werent going to get one in the first place, in a season where you have a very good chance to play for the national championship.

Either way, the decision is expected to be made before this season starts (FINALLY!). So there's no need for the Ducks to do it themselves.

The Ohio State and the UNC cases are nothing like Oregon's. In both of those cases players got extra benefits. There is absolutely nothing linking any Oregon players to getting extra benefits, all there is is that we paid a recruiting service for questionable information and made more phone calls then we were supposed to make.

Look who published the story: Florio. That should tell you something. That guy likes to kick hornet nests to see what happens for fun.

You've got to be willing to go against the tide. You've got to be be willing to harness your will and say In spite of this I'm in control here! I'm coming back and I'll be stronger and better because of it!- Les Brown

Whoa there JS, ruth is NO insider. I think she's actually a duck or coug because she does so much harm to UW.

“Russell Shepard has not signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. However, we did come to terms on a contract with he and his agent after the draft was completed. We anticipate he, like all of the rookie free agents we have agreed to terms with, will take a physical examination upon arriving in Philadelphia prior to next week's rookie minicamp and then sign a contract."
